In those few panicked seconds, he notices both of them are tied up. Petrified by fear, Patrick can’t move and keeps his eyes tightly shut. Suddenly, shots are fired and the house is set alight. The little boy knows his parents’ only hope of survival will depend on his escape.

Hearing the dad tell his son to “Just lay still for daddy. Please.” And then pleading for their lives, breaks my heart into shreds. Joe was a good loving father.
Yea totally devastating.
@@galacticwarlock2271seriously you really are heartless
@@galacticwarlock2271is that sarcastic or honest, you never know on the internet
Yeah, totally devastating.
I cry at that part, i can't hold it. Father who protectd his baby boy 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Shawn is proof you can be good even when youre surrounded by bad. He has heart.
yes, I expect shawn had good friends around him who influenced to be the way he is
I hope he is doing ok
Yes because he was born with good essence
@@romystumpy1197Were his brother and father born with bad essence? How is good/bad essence divvied up and doled out upon birth? This essence system intrigues me.
@@thescrootsocial influence and personal choices have a lot to do with it
The fact that all that had to happen to the small five year-old Patrick is devastating. I cried, especially overt the fact that joes last words to his son was "lay still and pretend your sleeping, do it for daddy please." this shows that not only did joe sacrifice his life for his son, but he saved him too. RIP joe. respect.
I'm sobbing this is so sad.
Patrick seems like such a sweetheart, some little kids seem like a pain in the ass but Patrick was clearly raised to be a loving happy little guy, it's unfortunate I bet this ruined him for life. I only hope he can still be as happy as he seemed in a lot of the clips shown of him. Joe Morrissey is the kind of man I aspire to be, his noble actions had me in tears.
@@RianaAnais😅😅
People should be very careful who they even talk to ,let alone having any kind of business with ;as renting, letting them in for any job .......etc
Never give a chance to creatures that look like bad news .
I cried too.
'you're a hero'
*nods* 'my mom said'
that's precious
That moment broke me. I hope that he and his mom can find peace in this life, and that everything good comes their way. Just a horrific experience.
"If you think I'm a snitch and I didn't do the right thing, then you're just as bad as a guy that committed that murder."

Well said sir, well said.
The whole sub culture around snitches get stitches....
So like you don't report bad people like child molesters or? No one or only?
@@imajellybean4709 most people who say "Snitches get stitches" are normally not good people. I mean they are literally threatening you saying that.
@@pizzarollking4397It's the same ones screaming "defund the police". So they can rob, and shoot whoever they please without consequences 🤦🏽♂️
@@imajellybean4709 People misunderstand the phrase
Its not about NEVER going to the police
The idea is if you are a criminal you shouldnt snitch on other criminals in the same game as you. It doesnt really apply to regular citizens
Obviously if someone attacks you or something nobody would have an issue with you going to the police about it
That don’t snitch shi only come into play when you apart of it most likely some gang shi tho not no sexual abuse
it’s crazy how patrick ran through rooms to get scissors to save his mother. he is so so so brave and such a good child for listening to his father throughout the scariest situation.
This is nuts. I've covered some pretty crazy cases too
Very sad for all of them. Patrick would be close to 17 now. I hope he has had therapy, as well as his mother.
Amazing resilient heroic child! 👵🏽✌🏾🤗

I’m very surprised this kid’s face isn’t blurred!
Because he is an adult now
@@waterbucket4358right lol
Probably because he's much older now and doesn't look the same. But you're right, I still think his face should be blurred.

Amen🙏
A man with integrity.
@mandykay8629 brothers do not share the same brain chemistry, same exact trauma/experiences and also do not have the same threshold for PTSD and other related secondary mental illnesses. I get what you're saying and I'm not making excuses for anyone but it's really just not that simple. Nothing is that simple. Lots of gray areas here, no black and white.
Also, the murderer son was also the oldest. He probably went through more & worse abuse. He had no older brother to protect and/or guide him.
So we really just can't compare people with similar life experiences and say "well, so and so didn't kill anyone so this other person is just evil, and that's it". There's just so much more to humans and our brains. When our brains are damaged, just like a liver, they won't work right at all. They will fail partially/completely and cause serious symptoms. Everyone's symptoms vary and for a lot of reasons.
It would, however, be so easy for Shawn to excuse bad behavior because of a bad childhood. So I absolutely commend him for his actions. It's truly inspirational and amazing. I don't want to discount that as if he had some great advantage over his brother. His struggle I'm sure, was great.
@mandykay8629 psychologists generally don't use that term. Philosophers do. You misunderstand what is meant by free will. "free will" as a concept is nothing to do with if a concious person understands what they are doing and understand right from wrong in the context of a court case. "free will" is a metaphysical concept and the opposite of determinism. In determinism all of the actions and events in the universe are already determined by an external entity. That includes all of consciousness, that doesn't mean people aren't making decisions that they can understand within the world. The judge is also part of that world. The juries decisions are also part of that world. It make no difference to outcome of a trial because everything would exist either as free will or as determinism regardless. What I think you are talking about is either nature vs. nature or whether a person can be fully culpable due to their state of mind during a crime.
The free will vs. determinism that would only matter in the context of higher being external to the the physical world. If that higher being has already determined anything could they really be Judged (capital J), external to the physical world? The issue is religion uses both determinism and free will when it suits. It uses determinism, to underpin creation and the inability to defy gods plan but free will to explain the failures.
In a court case they would have to plead not guilt due insanity for this to come up which is a legal concept different from medical insanity. Of the counsel / judge would have to enter a pea on their behalf becuase they not fit to stand trial, or the judge out have declare them not fit to stand trial. Typical it is forensic psychiatrist who woudl testify. But a psychologist may also. There is also diminished responsibility but hat is a guilty plea but with mitigation.
Background may come up in sentencing, but is rare for it to come up in the trial itself unless it is directly related to the facts.
It is not nature vs nurture, it nature __and__ nurture and everything is ultimately nature anyway. We can be a product of a neurology and still have a concious mind that acts. Mens rea mean guilty mind. It is the mind that tried not the neural network.
I love what he said at the end: “If you think I’m a snitch and I didn’t do the right thing, then you’re just as bad as a guy that committed that murder, so I don’t care!” 21:05 - 21:11
2 types of Father here. A biological father who sacrificed his 2 son to save his own life vs An Adoptive Father who sacrifice his life for his son. Father's love is not always about blood. 😢
💯💯💯
This whole story just goes to show how much a father can influence the trajectory of your whole life, either to become someone elses hero, or someone elses villain. Two amazing and brave young men.
It also shows that cycle can be broken with Shawn
“Please do it for daddy.” That made me tear up. I can only imagine what the father was thinking about over the last minutes of his life.
Sadly, at that point, you can only really hope and pray that your killer won't kill your son too.
Sad to think the father thinks of a world where he could see his son grow up
Me 2
His last words and thoughts were to protect his family- such a stark contrast to the criminal father who masterminded this whole pointless tragedy and then used his sons to try and get away it.
5:39 already cried once.
“If you think I’m a snitch and did the wrong thing, then you’re as bad as the e people who commit the murder”. Wow, I salute you my friend! Amazing words
Why did the murderer commit the murder? Is it a disease? Can't it be identified and cured? Loss of life is one of the greatest losses especially title family. What do these ppl get out of it?

Exactly 💯
@@Houls_ I was talking about preventing it. Not after it happened.

You’re no snitch. “Snitch” is was 💩 ppl call others that hold them accountable for their own actions. The most common thing to manipulate others.
"Snitch" is actually those who tell on their partners in crime. not law abiding citizens and definitely not children
Shawn, you're not a snitch, you're a hero who brings justice for a father who died protecting his family
I agree completely he's more of a man than that nit wit brother of his
This case made me so emotional. Patrick is such an intelligent kid, he was only 5 years old and still saved his mom and was able to tell the story to the authorities.
Did the mom live?
Ok nevermind she did
@@CabbageJuice2677yes the dad died
What did you think he’s asian
And the kid is now 18
Shawn was the real HERO here, he was incredibly brave . Patrick is also incredibly brave , so young yet he understood exactly what he needed to do. I hope Patrick has received the help he surely needed after witnessing what he did.
I agree katiana also love ur name
My friend's parents were killed in front of him in his home when he was 4 or 5. They were dead immediately and nothing could have been done. He told me that over time the mental image of seeing the shots happen faded quite a bit but that turning his mother's head and seeing that half of it was gone never faded at all. Our brains have the ability to block out such traumatic things almost completely. It's unfortunate that we can't effectively make that occur to make life better for people who've seen things like that.
Actually, I used to suffer and I saw a Christian video that was a prayer to ask Jesus to take away evil memory recall. You don’t forget that you saw what you saw but you don’t get tormented. God is good. Whenever there doesn’t seem to be a way remember Jesus said, “I am the way.”
It’s also Christmas right now. So worth it to read Matthew, Luke, or my favorite, John. Especially John 1 & 3 “in the beginning was the Word… The word was made flesh…. Though the world was made through him, so many in the world did not recognize him, the arm of the Lord.” See also Isaiah 53. That would take 10 minutes.Even Christian miss out on all the good God has for us. I’ve shifted my realization to the fact that we still live in Bible days, and miracles start to happen, when you pray in faith that they do happen, when you pray the will of God, by praying scripture over situation, we need to know scripture first.
Patrick’s dad too. I started to tear up at Joe Morrissey’a last words:
_”Patrick lay down and be quiet, do it for Daddy!”_
‘If you say I’m a snitch, you’re just as bad as the one who committed the crime’ words to live by.
“A robber attacked our house and my dad died” I felt like crying when hearing that cause he could barely understand what happened 😭
That's probably how it was explained to him and he was repeating it.
Shawn has a lot of courage to turn in his father who is such a monster and his brother. He did the right thing and in a way is a hero despite his upbringing. I feel the need to pray for him 🙏
Monika, your profile picture is everything I aspire to be.
@@KairiBakugou-dw4fx 🤨
@@KairiBakugou-dw4fx lmao whyyyyyyyyyy
Thank you for praying for him. ❤
I don't think he turned his brother. His brother was a drug addict and he knew that if he was involved it was his fathers doing. And he was right. Guy got his son high on crack and then told him go rob someone and get more.
The older brother exposing his father was a powerful thing. Their father was evil and manipulative. His actions stopped a vicious cycle, saved a life and hopefully bought that poor mom some justice. I'm praying for the young son's wellbeing and that he gets the long term care he will need for his ptsd.
How was his father evil? I wanted to know what his goal was?

I feel sorry for Randy Jr for his father using his addiction against him and manipulating him plus he abused his sons, what a disgusting evil man.
Yeah he seemed like a pretty broken dude, he pleaded guilty and didn’t try to justify what he did. Sad really and I’m glad his sentence wasn’t too harsh.
@@The_JackYT Wasn't too harsh, he says, seeing a 40 year sentence for a man who isn't yet even 40.
@@Cugaed well I mean he did kill a man, so yeah considering what he did 40 years is pretty fucking light
@@The_JackYT Seems likely the father actually carried out the murder, since they took him back inside the house to do it. The son was certainly complicit, controlled by drugs. He looked better after prison than before when on remand.
@@barbaramcmillan3835 I highly doubt that considering the maximum sentence for conspiracy to murder is 25 years and he got 40, and what you’re saying is a theory but not confirmed. Though it is not improbable for him to have killed him in a drug induced frenzy.
"If you think i'm a snitch, then you're just as bad as the guy that committed the murder. And I don't care." Legend!!!
Shaun and Patrick are both heros. Thank God there are children out there breaking the cycle of abuse! I hope they both have happy beautiful lives!!!
Shawn Tundidor, you are a stand up guy. Seriously, good on you for doing what was right. You aren't like your father or brother, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You also aren't a snitch. This took a lot of courage and strength to come forward with that information about your dad and brother. A snitch would have been a coward, and you sir, are no coward.
Edited to fix spelling errors. Please don't condemn me to hell for this most heinous sin.
On top of this, who knows what would have happened if he HADN’T testified. The child and his mother could potentially be in grave danger of the father and older brother coming back to try and k!ll them again.
@@se7ense7ens37 oh yeah i agree 💯% I'm sure they would have finished what they started. Sad that there are people like that in this world.
Is it a snitch to report the crimes of a bully?
If a sister tattles on a mean brother and he is punished, it is his own fault. Hold the wicked accountable and reward the good people.
@@AffectionateCorgi-sz7qe What if your brother was perfectly okay with throwing you under the bus and letting you take the blame for the murders?
Because Randy Sr. clearly didn't care about his sons, so why should the sons be loyal and seek to protect him for his crimes?

Wow, bravo to the youngest son for coming out and raising suspicions on his father. I can’t imagine how hard that would be, mad respect brother!
There are 3 heroes in this story. One a stand up man who stood against his own family to do the right thing. One a father, a damn good father, who fought and sacrificed himself to try and save his family. One, a young man raised by that example of a good father who loved and listened to his parents, saving his and his mothers lives. What an incredible story. If anybody ever asks me why I believe in the death penalty, this story is another great example of human filth that don't deserve to occupy the same reality as the 3 heroes who stopped them.
👊😇 AMEN ❤

I'm sure you mean well.
@@agatajesion5920pds means?
A tale of two fathers - one who raised his family up, and one who was content to throw his own child under the bus, manipulating him into committing crimes that put him in prison. A tale of two sons - one who ran to get scissors to cut his mother free, and a son who saw his father for the evil man he was and decided to do something incredibly brave to put his father in prison for the rest of his life. It’s a mad world.
You just stated exactly what happened. He abused his son to get him to do that crime. Then he blamed both sons for what he did. The son he utilized for the crime has mental health conditions since he was little, still his father set him up to be a criminal and going to prison for 40 years
So deep
It's pretty chill
It reminds me of that case Mr Ballen covered where a dad murdered a medical student and his gf on his yacht and threatened his own teenage sons who witnessed the whole thing into silence
@@lizxu322Or the January Sixth traitor who threatened his own children-----and they turned him in.
You have to have massive respect for someone who can grow up and get away from a life of trauma and abuse, to be able to become a better human being. To go against your family, even if they're blood. To reveal what monsters they are for the sake of others.
Shawn is the sort of man we need more of in this world.
As sad as this story is, it’s almost poetic in a way. Two fathers, polar opposites in regards to their families. One father, using his last words to protect and comfort his son in such a terrifying situation. While you have the other “father” who would throw his own children under the bus for a Klondike bar.
The second father is vile, disgusting, and downright evil
well put
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
I think a significant part of this poetry also lies in the heroic father being adoptive, while the 'bound-by-blood' biological father was one that you had to put between quotation marks, because he did not live up to what constitutes a true father, while conversely it is many people's belief that adoptive parents can't live up to the role and connection that a biological parent has in a child's life. So this shows how that narrative in reality can be completely opposite with these two examples connected in one case. The "real" father, wasn't a real father - and vice versa.
And it looks like that guy has had a LOT of Klondike bars.
"I saved my mom" . . . . that's gotta hit hard when he thinks about it as a grown man.
The baggage that a situation like this would make for a child is terrible. I can't imagine how long it would take for you to process all that happened.
I had childhood trauma from a terrorist incident when I was seven, and I don't think I really processed it until my twenties.@@chunkycornbread4773
He would probably blame himself for not saving his dad. That’s what typically happens with survivors.
Shawn, great job brother. Integrity and the truth speak louder than even your own blood. You’re an example for
many to follow.
both Shawn and Patrick are true heroes and I hope they both take pride in themselves and their brave actions. idk why but this case made me very emotional. I watch a lot of true crime and not much touches me but this really did.
Patrick is 18 now, what a horrible thing to have to deal with as a 5 year old. I wish there were updates about how he is doing with his ptsd now.
Damn.. he’s literally 1 year younger than me. It’s crazy because traumatic experiences like that can make someone still feel the shockwaves of it for the rest of their life. If he’s going to college I really hope he has a good support system because PTSD is far from easy to deal with. Seemed like a brave boy at 5 I’m sure his inherent character hasn’t changed
@@daffyducksmashedinablockof8634 I'm just wondering if there is a way to cure PTSD yet? Because I couldn't even imagine the pain and terror Patrick would've been facing over years... it is just so traumatic:/
no.
no 'cure' for PTSD.

PTSD is basically a severe anxiety disorder. ie: no matter how brave you were at the time, the rest of your life you'll battle fear...
I have it.

I really hope that Patrick is mentally okay. It’s been 13 years since then and he should be 18 years old. I can’t imagine how rough it has been for him, especially puberty, having to deal with the idiosyncrasy of trauma after and the usual growing pains of adolescenthood

This is genuinely the first time I have cried at a youtube video.

This is an excellent video even tho it made me cry lol. You did a phenomenal job. Subbed and probably gonna binge your content.
That brother coming forward & then even helping with the investigation is a good man.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
So much disgust for that “father” - what a piece of garbage

Pure evil if not possessed. What other crimes has he commited
@@user-ts5qw6tr9b The son mentioned another murder, which was the one when his father threatened him with death if he ever told.
his last words to his son, being to soothe him :( im crying
Shawn, you did what any good human being would do. You even went as far as breaking your family’s generational cycle of abuse, good on you. May you receive many blessings and success for doing the honorable thing. Real courage.
The dichotomy between the two fathers and the way the story played out is truly tragic. This is beyond sad, cruel and unfair.
The thing that makes me so mad about cases like this is the motive is always such bullshit. Whenever there's someone who's actually being fucked over, they either fight it the legal way or are forced to just roll over and take it. But there's always a murderer out there who can turn an insignificant minor issue into a reason for somebody to die
The bravery to stand up against your family when they did something wrong.
And when you know there is literally a risk of your family murdering you for doing so!!!!
What a brilliant father and fine example of a man( R.I.P.). Love truly has no bounds . Tragedy in this case has a silver lining ( justice) and I hope the survivors have a blessed life of hapiness❤
No video has ever brought me to tears like this one has. I mean never! Patrick and Shawn’s insight on their terror breaks my heart into pieces!!😫😫
The son turning his dad in is a real one .
Not a snitch, a hero. Truly. I've watched so many of these but this one touched me like no other. The strength and courage of Patrick and Shawn are amazing and inspiring.
My God..this is beyond heartbreaking and incredible. Shawn you're a champ and Patrick you're a hero for life. Wow.
Major respect to Shawn, he’s the reason why they got justice.
Absolutely. It can't be easy to turn in your own father, but his father was the disloyal one at the end of the day.
I'm an old man, and I've been on this planet for a long time. But there are still times when I'm shocked by the evil acts people are capable of. This is one of those times.
At 30 and someone who follows true crime content, the depth of evil knows no boundaries. This story isn't the worst of it yet.
@@je.suis.prisciEvery video I watch gets worse, it's crazy..
I’m 48 and there are times I’m shocked by the depths of depravity and the evil people go to, but I’m also given hope when people do extraordinary acts of bravery, love and compassion in the face of evil. This story has elements of both. On the one hand there’s a father who terrorised his family and used his son’s addiction to do a heinous crime, on the other hand there’s a father who sacrificed himself to save his son, a little boy who acted bravely, and another son who went against his family to do the right thing.
I’ve followed true crime for many years and there are many stories I consider worse, but when looking at all the elements it’s a very shocking and senseless crime. A life taken for something as trivial as an eviction.

it's so sad to see patrick say things like, "my dad died" and "he put a gun to my mom and dad's head" so innocently and easily, he doesn't understand the depth of what happened. randy gave so much tramua to patrick at such a young age, he is an absolute monster.
The only good news is that he will likely not remember many of the finer details of this event since he's so young. But it will likely haunt him forever. It might be even worse now since, while this is good to have up, he can look it up at any time.
@@xxhowisuxx I truly hope he doesnt remember the finer details, me and my mom had our home robbed when I was 5 years as well, put towels on our heads and pointed guns to us, tied me with a fucking gamecube power cable, mom thought they were going to kills us, thankfully they only robed the place and left a while after, but I still remember every single detail
@@xxhowisuxxabsolutely untrue. I experienced a series pretty traumatic incident at 5 years old and I remember all of it.
5 year olds like anyone might forget mundane simple regular stuff but they won't forget something like this.
Don't delude yourself thinking a 5 year old or even a 2 year old forgets any of these things
Great fathers make great sons - life grows well with great understanding and loving families!
I am so proud of the small brave boy and his loving father and sad that his father was stolen from him and his mother.
Patrick did a amazing job explaining as a kid and I bet his Dad is proud of him for saving his Mom and being able to explain what happened at his age.
Shawn where ever you are, I hope you are doing amazing and for not letting the cycle of abuse continue in your family. I hope more people see what you did and have courage to speak up against people like your father.
We get the polar opposite of fathers here one who will do anything for his child when the other would happily betray his kids to save his own skin.
I think that’s just the case with humans in general. We may have evolved in terms of societal improvements, technology, language/arts, etc, but we’re still our base selves when it comes down to instincts. Some of us are wired to do right by our families and communities, some of us are wired to prey on and take advantage of others. When the former comes together to deal with the latter, society as a whole improves. When the latter run rampant over the former, society begins to break down and people point fingers to assign blame as opposed to determining what they can do to help improve the community’s outlook. If there were more people like this little boy I’d have more faith that the good will overcome the bad but I just don’t know any more.
malignant narcissism at it's finest.
It’s so heart breaking seeing how small he is in the chair. He was so young and had to deal with this. He never deserved this
God bless you Shawn! You are proof that a person can break the cycle & free yourself ftom the past! ❤ 2 heros, 2 very different upbringings. A 5 year old & a grown son who BOTH showed tremendous courage!
Such a good documentary explaining the family’s experience and such a good ending, although it’ll never be enough🙌🏽❤️
Patrick, it's 14 years on, and you're a young man now. Your dad would have been SO PROUD.
Shawn and patrick are both heroes in this case. Patrick saved his mom, and shawn displayed the truth for justice. I dont even know them but im so damn proud of both of them for being so brave
The fact that Randy used his son's addiction against him is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. I feel like 40 years was too much for someone who was manipulated and drugged.
He still took that guys life, your moral compass is skewed if you believe 40 years is too long for somebody that entered a family’s home in the middle of the night and committed a murder given drugs or manipulated or not the time should reflect the severity of the crime
I agree that perhaps the son who was abused by the father and then had his drug addiction used against him might possibly be able to be rehabilitated. The father deserves to have a life if not a death behind bars. But the eldest brother Shawn is absolutely a testament to the human spirit that you can be surrounded by abuse, cruelty And immorality and still be a good person and do the right thing, he's the only light in the darkness of that family.
Id say it depends on whether or not the son knew his father was planning on killing the guy, because to me it seemed like the son was under the impression that it was just going to be a robbery or break and enter. If he didnt know his dad’s intentions then i agree 40 years seems harsh, but if thats not the case then even with manipulation if you can be manipulated to murder its justified
We see ppl get 5-25 for killing families in drunk driving cases, it's extremely similar. He was high off $100 worth of crack, which is quite a bit and THEN was told it was just a simple robbery which is damn near a victimless crime (to a creek head) on top of all that is was his dad, so he was manipulated on so many levels, i feel 20 and rehab would've been fair while giving the father life without parole, no death sentence, let them dreams torment him for the rest of his living days @wrathofthegods4739
@@wrathofthegods4739No the father killed him and got life. Junior got 40yrs for being involved. Which I also think it’s too much for someone who was coerced and drugged.
“Robbers attacked our house… and… my dad died” man I can’t see out my eyes anymore there’s too many tears
Bravo Shawn! Goes to show you the right thing to do is seldom the easy thing to do. What an amazing person you are and what a great gift to give that family. ❤️✌️💋
Sean is an amazing man and he is the breaker of generational curses and will bring honor to his family's name with what he did. He has an amazing moral compass. His father is a terrible person and deserved everything he got. Patrick is a hero. Poor baby to have to witness that. I'm glad your family got justice. I wish none of it ever happened to you. You had an amazing husband and father who was a hero to the end.
Shawn did not bring honor to our family, he is my cousin, my mother Patricia Tundidor is Randy Sr sister..... Shawn was the actual killer and Randy Jr was protecting his baby brother by testifying against my uncle....you all are fucking gullible to believe him
People who adopt children are the true gold standard of humanity.
I an in awe of such people. There are few things one can do that are of equal worth.
21:04 I wanna time stamp this statement very quick, no matter what happens. Always stand for what's right and what is true. This quote will forever remain with me. Much love to Patrick, his mother and his sisters family. May God bless their souls and keep them safe. 🙏
What a stand up guy. Turning in your dad and brother has to be hard but was the right thing. Even being raised by a monster this young man decided to be a good person. We all have choices in life.
Thanks to Shawn for helping the investigation. He's amazing! He did the right thing. Others would have tried to protect their family members who have committed murder. Those types of people who protect murderers are also guilty of the crime. Patrick is an amazing little boy as well. Sorry for your loss Patrick. 😢
Snitch?? Absolutely NOT! HERO! Just like the little boy who saved his mum. Love to you both. It took a lot of courage and emotional strength to do what you both have done. ❤
So heartbreaking how matter of fact he says that his dad had died. My brother was about his age when our dad died, and he absolutely could not comprehend what was happening when my mom told us what happened. I burst into tears, and he didn’t understand why everyone was so upset. I’m not sure that he truly understands what happened and how he feels about it to this day. I hope Patrick gets the space to cope with what happened.
No one with even the minutest bit of decency could call Shawn a snitch. He stood up for what was right and made sure justice was served 👏🏻
A story of a man fighting in his final moments to try and keep his family safe, and another man who throws his own flesh and blood under the bus to save his own skin.
the Duality of man.
Yeah. What I don't understand is why they didn't say what happened to the father. He was taken downstairs and the boy didn't hear him anymore. How did he die? Did I miss something?
@@annwithaplan9766 They mentioned "murder weapon" before. That paired with the fact that there was no gun shot implies it was probably from a knife or blunt force object. (Although a gun counts as a murder weapon, typically I would imagine criminals would just call a gun what it is).
you have amazing editing skills to tell stories like this. thank you.
Got my tears out man
He give up his father an brother just to save other family wooow
Shawn words at they end was amazing
What a story of bravery and heroism! God bless Shawn, Patrick, and his mom.
Also, the sister. What an awful thing to see your Mother bloody standing shocked telling you her husband was just murdered. 😢
So sad. Poor Patrick didn't understand what it means to be dead. Him thinking that dad will be back broke my heart. Am glad he listened to his dad and laid low. He is a very smart boy at his young age. Joe was such a good father unlike Randy, He is a bad father. He was willing to accuse his sons in order to save himself Sean did the right thing. Thank you Sean. May Allah bless you for that good act. RIP Joe.
Allah isn't real

☺️ May he bless you too. And. Grant you your heart desires 🤲🏾 Ameen.

This little boy is going to need so much support as he gets older. I can not imagine what his little brain is doing to try and cope with this tragedy. Shawn is a saint for not protecting his father. You cannot unalive someone and somehow get away with it nowadays. To Patrick, you are an amazing and resilient human baby boy. You will become your father’s mini me and walk in his footsteps. He is very proud of you. Bless your family.
I mean.. he IS older, he’s now 18 years old. So, it should really be “I hope he’s had the support he’s needed for the last 13 years and continues to get support”
I don’t know why you keep talking like this case just happened. It’s been 13 years so idk why you’re saying “nowadays” and talking in current time instead of past tense
New subscriber here, great editing it gives me the sense that im actually putting everything together like the detectives you really pulled my full attention, looking forward to the rest of your videos 💯, thank you
Im so proud of the younger son. Hes more of a man than his father ever was.
Say it again you are right
Thank you, Shawn. What you did took courage. I believe your brother would not have participated in your fathers plan if he had not been manipulated by the drugs your father gave him. I know he will be clean now, with being in prison, and I can only imagine his remorse. Thank you for being you, you saved a family and your brother.
I thought the same thing that when he was on the stand and had clean time that he is probably living with what he did and regrets it not just because his is in jail, as he should. But a father getting his addict child all cracked out to commit a crime like this is disgusting.
Agreed, hopefully they give him the teraphy for addiction and psicologist; seems like he was used and abused by his father to commit all kind of crimes. I hope he gets less time in prison.
@azukita9157 He received 40 yrs in prison. His father received the death penalty. I would imagine part of the sons treatment to become clean in prison would have been support by a psychologist. I imagine all in this case will need therapy. So sad. 😢
Yeah it sounds like after getting clean, he realized what a piece of shit his dad is. I wouldn't be surprised if his dad helped him get addicted in the first place.
Think again. Drugs are rampant in prisons.
I send a loving prayer & huge hug. I'm so happy Patrick's Mom Kay survived. Thank you God, you brought 2 great guys into this world. Both Patrick & the brother who offered up his dad (I forget his name) are heros. 🙏🏻❤️🌞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Shawn is an amazing man. He did what was right OVER protecting his dad and brother for the terrible things they did. That takes a lot of courage and integrity. Happy for him he is NOT like his dad and proved it by being honest and wanting to help Patrick and his mom. That will help them to start to heal over the loss of their dad and husband. Such a sad story!
Shawn was so brave, he did the right thing. I feel bad for Randy Jr. too, he was an addict and his own father preyed on that vulnerability and convinced him to do something he might otherwise not have done. It's absolutely tragic all across the board, so many victims due to one selfish man.
you feel bad??? "he was an addict".... eff that.
@@AlaborJintahis dad gave him a bag of crack to smoke knowing he was a crack addict and knowing his true intentions…
Drug don't necessarily make you a bad person. That being said, it sure as hell can bring to light the darker inner thoughts a lot of people harbor and you'd never otherwise know. Just like liquor.
@@AlaborJinta yes, I do. Good people struggle with addiction every day, and like any sickness they need medical attention and more than anything a good support system. Unfortunately, all Randy Jr. had for guidance is a father with no intention of actually helping him, but used his son's addiction to get what he wanted. Yes, I feel bad for him. I'd wager if his father didn't hand him those drugs, he never would have killed or assisted in murder. He's a victim too, and he has to live with what his father lead him to do. He needed his dad to help him, and instead he was betrayed in a terrible way. He made his son an accomplice to murder. That's a heinous thing to do to your child, much less the family they attacked.
He was weak. I've smoked crack. Not that much, but over the years, it has been about a hundred times. It makes you want more as soon as the high wears off. Its highly addictive. It becomes a fight against your own brain chemistry, which I excell at. I have tremendous will power. I even quit tobacco cold-turkey. The guys I smoked crack with CANNOT control themselves. They are weak. They will give away all their money, their car, the shirt off their back to get another hit. It disgusts me. I only smoke crack alone now because of people like this. I spend forty bucks on it and then I quit. It's gone. Most people start looking in the floor and end up trying to get more, spending five hundred dollars in a night once. That's what it does to you. You have to fight it. It's really hard for me to fight my own brain when there's also a crack addict begging you to get more. I have to fight myself AND them. It ends up with me kicking them out of my apartment and then I slam a bunch of beer, brush my teeth and take a shower. The feeling of immediate addiction fades after a few hours. Then it becomes more of a craving than addiction. Then I see my friend two days later, dirty and out of his mind because he hasn't slept. He's still smoking it and already given up everything he owns. Then he wants MORE.
"If you think I'm a snitch and I didn't do the right thing? Then youre just as bad as the guy committing that murder. So I don't care."
This hit hard. You are an honorable man Shawn!
You really did justice for this families story and their tragic loss.
This one made me cry. There are so many heroes in this story. You can see the best and worst of man in this case.
The son who turned in his Father is such a Good Man .
God Bless 🙏🏾 him .
Dios Bendigo to the Family
For Shawn to turn against his father and tell the truth is so brave and commendable! Though two families are ruined through one man’s greed 😢
